Species text
This species is a small black fly usually found in coastal localities, although inland occurrences are reported in the London area. All records so far are south of the Severn-Wash line. The fly is reported for Essex in Pont (1979), but otherwise the species has only been recorded from Colne Point (North Essex) in 1990. The larvae develop in fresh dung, especially of cows and horses. Although in one of the Diptera families that have not yet been appraised for Essex Red Data status, on current evidence the species probably warrants inclusion. References
